Here’s the Four Weddings and a Funeral Comic Relief special trailer

Back in December, there was good news for fans of iconic romantic comedies, because the Four Weddings and a Funeral sequel was confirmed for Comic Relief 2019.

After Hugh Grant hinted that a "sequel-ette" of the 1994 movie was in the works back in October, Richard Curtis, the writer of the original film and the co-founder of Red Nose Day, wrote a shorter version, called One Red Nose Day and a Wedding especially for the charity's television event in March.

Then a few weeks ago we got our first look at the cast in their iconic roles...

And now we have a teaser trailer!

Grant will star in the new version alongside many of the original cast members including Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah and Rowan Atkinson. Four Weddings director Mike Newell is also returning to direct the short film, which will pick the story up 25 years later and will even include one more wedding.

"We're all definitely older – I suspect no wiser," Curtis commented. "It's been really enjoyable working out what's happened to all the characters – and now they get back together for the 5th wedding. Where, as usual, not everything will go as planned."

The one-off special will air on BBC One on Friday 15th March and on NBC in the US in May. It follows Curtis' short film version of Love Actually, which was a hit for Comic Relief in 2017.
